Our PX schemes also give developers an opportunity to quickly convert sales without having to sacrifice margins.
We pride ourselves on a prompt and flexible service delivered through our experienced team of property professionals. Silverbridge Properties is also a proud subscriber to the ARCO Affiliate Network, that is setting new standards in retirement living.
We will consider ANY property type at ANY value. Acting quickly, we can provide your customer with a firm offer within 24 hours of the valuation. We normally exchange contracts within 28 days and are extremely flexible on final completion dates. To take the stress out of your customers’ move, we can delay vacancy for up to 2 weeks after completion.

Testimonials
We are continually impressed by their flexibility, promptness and overall levels of customer service
We have been working with Silverbridge Properties now for over twelve years and we are continually impressed by their flexibility, promptness and overall levels of customer service. We are confident that Silverbridge Properties, and their competitive Part Exchange schemes, help us to convert sales quickly and easily by removing the uncertainty of the property chain. Moreover, Silverbridge Properties work with us in partnership to help us build our business and deliver a first class Home Exchange service to our customers.
Liza Webb – Part Exchange Manager, Churchill Retirement Living
Audley Retirement has been working in partnership with Silverbridge Properties now for more than four years and our relationship is going from strength to strength. Such is the integral role that Silverbridge now plays in the success of our sales operation, it has become our exclusive part exchange provider.
Since Silverbridge has come on board, we have seen an increasing number of our deals transacted using part exchange. The benefit to us is that this PX helps us maintain better control of the sales process, speeds up the pace of transactions and even rescues deals that otherwise would have been lost. In fact, the mantra we tell our sales staff is that “PX means quicker sales that delivers commissions sooner”.
We really appreciate Silverbridge’s flexibility, particularly by delaying our customers’ final completion dates. This is extremely useful for us as it means we can confidently sell properties that are not yet ready for occupancy, but with the assurance that there will be no fall throughs.
Kevin Shaw – Development Director, Audley Retirement
We asked ourselves why we hadn’t used Silverbridge before
Silverbridge Properties have shown great care to understand our specific needs and that of the Park Home development sector. They continually help us bring sales to completion, by freeing up deals that have been stalled because of complications in the property chain. We first approached Silverbridge when the market was extremely flat and since we’ve been using their Part Exchange service we have seen a rapid increase in sales. Our Park Home customers not only get a highly competitive valuation on their existing property yet also receive exceptional service and flexibility during, and after, the sales process. We asked ourselves why we hadn’t used Silverbridge before so there is no doubt that we will be working in partnership with them for many years to come.
Tracey Coulson – Managing Director, The John Kinch Group

Silverbridge has become an extension of our sales department, helping us close deals through their attractive part exchange schemes. We find them to be prompt to respond, extremely reliable and, more importantly, they do a great job in keeping our customers satisfied and happy.
